Hi apHUGGERS!  End of the year Final!! optional!!  no Risk!!  You will be taking

one of these two tests.  I suggest you go and study the test, take the test, and review for the test!  It will be an online test so that it can be graded quickly!!  You all can do well on this test w preparation!!

• FINALS: Take and review these two tests;  practice quizlet w flashcards, games, etc.

For Jaricsa....and anyone else!

• Introduction:
• Sometimes it is easier to think through an issue if you are asked to “take a stand”
• on it.
• Procedure:
• 1. Provide articles for students to read: ProCon or Take A Stand.  Create an unbiased portfolio of short reading selections, cartoons, pictures, stories, film clips.   Provide an organizer for their notes.
• 2. (News/CNN Panel Discussion)/skit: TV Commentator/anchor, experts, famous individuals, politicians, celebrities weigh in on the topic
• 3. Post and read several statements to the class. They can stand in front of the sign that most closely represents their reaction to the statement you’ve read. They will then be asked to explain their particular stand on each issue. They are free to move to a different sign if/when their opinions change after hearing their classmates’ views.
• 3.When facilitating the activity, try to give equal time to representatives of
• different sides of the issue and solicit remarks from as many students as
• possible. Pose questions to help students articulate their thoughts.
• 4. You may want to use some of the following techniques to keep the debate on track. To show respect for viewpoints different than their own, have students paraphrase the opinions offered by others before they speak. To stay focused on
• content, not personalities, assign students a position that they
• must defend, even if it does not mesh with their personal values.

Review the directions for the project on the blog.  This is due at the end of next week and we will begin presentations on following Monday.

Delving Deeper

After viewing the film, •

Make a list of the physical characteristics of Yesler Terrace, as depicted in the film. What materials are the housing units built from? What are signs of its age and disrepair? Describe the outside spaces in the neighborhood. • Describe what the future Yesler Terrace would look like, with evidence from the film, as described by residents.

 

• Based on observations from the film, what do residents find positive about living at Yesler Terrace? What are some of the challenges or difficulties they experience? • Residents interviewed in the film come from a variety of backgrounds. Describe some of the residents' ethnicities and nationalities. (Answers include: Iraqi, Native American, African American, Asian, and Sudanese.) Do you think the diversity of residents in Yesler Terrance contribute to a more dynamic neighborhood? If so, how? •

 

Selaay says, "Growing up in Yesler, you really see what a community is." What do you think he means by this? List examples of what a community is, from his perspective in the film. How would you define community in your own life? Are there similarities between your own definition and what you feel Selaay means? • One Yesler resident explains that the simple fact of high-rise living, which is part of the future of Yesler Terrace, will destroy the current sense of community. Using the film as evidence, why do you think this might be? (Some answers include: Porches and private yards will disappear. You will not be able to simply sit and see your neighbors pass by.)

Reflecting:  Prompts

  1. West Side Stories is a project of Youth Radio Interactive, based out of West Oakland. The project is composed of youth who collaborate to document gentrification in West Oakland. Visit the website and click on one of the short audio interviews, which explore residents' lives and perspectives, capturing the changes in Oakland. Once you have listened to an audio interview, think about one of the characters in Even the Walls (you might have to review the film online) and write a short paragraph from their point of view. Use the following questions as motivation for your paragraph: How long have you been a resident of Yesler Terrace and what are the most significant changes you've witnessed that has impacted your life and community?

 

 

OR!!   As an alternative, interview a family member or neighbor and write about changes to their own neighborhood or community.  Past or present. 

 

 

for those of you who didn't get  copy!!  I will also make more copies!

Yesler Terrace

First built in 1941, the 30-acre Yesler Terrace, located in downtown Seattle, was Washington's first subsidized housing development

Lesson Plan Relocating Residents: The Impact of Housing on Community

Architecture and neighborhood design have consequences on human activity and relationships. Redesigning public housing has a significant impact on residents who have lived, in some cases for generations, within specific architectural and human systems.

Background

Across the United States, low-income, urban neighborhoods are being redeveloped to benefit middle-class and upper-class housing, business, and cultural interests. The results can be seen as "positive" with updated buildings, improved transportation, reduced crime, more robust economies, and new parks and other amenities. But often, individuals, families, and entire neighborhoods are displaced or destroyed in this process, commonly known as "gentrification." Merriam-Webster defines gentrification as "the process of renewal and rebuilding accompanying the influx of middle-class or affluent people into deteriorating areas that often displaces poorer residents." Gentrification is taking place in many major American cities, with the biggest impacts made between 2000 and 2010 in Portland, Oregon; Washington, D.C.; Minneapolis, Minnesota; and Seattle, Washington. In those cities, 50% or more of lower-income areas have been gentrified.*

First built in 1941, the 30-acre Yesler Terrace, located in downtown Seattle, was Washington's first subsidized housing development as well as the country's first racially integrated public development. In 2013, the Seattle Housing Authority began a far-reaching redevelopment plan that would do away with 561 units and rebuild the site with approximately 5,000 housing units of which 1,800 will be subsidized for both low- and moderate-income residents. The plan also includes parks, a walking loop, community gardens, and improved connections to local neighborhoods, environmentally sensitive housing units, and business and office space.**

The Seattle Housing Authority has guaranteed that all current Yesler Terrace residents, in 2016, have the opportunity to move into the new development; however, residents face temporary dislocation during construction. Critics of the redevelopment note that such dislocation will disrupt the lives of vulnerable residents, including education, healthcare access, and other services.*** The short film, Even the Walls, co-directed by Saman Maydani and Sarah Kuck, depicts residents of Yesler Terrace as the demolition begins, exploring their thoughts and feelings about relocation. While some residents look forward to new and updated housing, others resist the change, and most lament the loss of a neighborhood that has been their home and refuge—in some cases, for generations.

Sorry for the late post...

Go to the end of this section on Urban issues.  There is a page that summarizes

the four key issues.  Read them and make a list of bullet points for each.

Then, look at the vocab on the next page....choose 5 words that you don't normally use and define in your own words.

...and make sure you get an AP review book.  Princeton Review is excellent.

$10 on amazon....delivers in a day.  Go get it!

• For decades, Jordan Downs and two other public housing developments dominated the landscape and reputation of Watts.....It is a community of families — strong, troubled, proud and interconnected — many bearing the scars of poverty and drugs. It also has a history the epidemic of crack cocaine, decimated families, and  gangs that fought to control the drug’s production, distribution and sales. Rates of death and incarceration soared in the 80s and 90s.  Crime has been reduced in the last ten years.

Make sure you have posted your project to Turnitin or my school email for me

to check this weekend.   I will post some final reading and activities on this issue of agriculture.  It will be due on Monday....as you have had plenty of time to complete your project.  The substitute said only one group was finished.  I'm not sure why that is....

 

Nonetheless, I hope the parent night went well.  Have a good weekend!  See you Monday.  Dr. Steinberg

 

Assignment to follow

Please

post your projects on TURNITIN. I will create an assignment later this evening. 

Thanks. Hope to be back

Monday 

hi to your parents!

REad article; watch short films

Watch:  The Scarecrow (chipotle animation)

DOWNLOAD:  Game

Write a one paragraph synopsis of the films message.  Was it effective?  why or why not?  How can you determine if a film does communicate its message well?

Would it include a change in behavior by the audience?

 

Sorry APHUGGERS....I've been quite ill and the recovery has been slow. 

 

Begin this project by doing some research for Tuesday;  and comparing basic ideas over the next few days with your team.  Your team will consist of the same members as the last presentation.  You will need to locate reliable resources on the internet.

 

Operation Hunger Free

---

You are to become part of a research team employed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture with the intent of advancing the Green Revolution through the development of a new hybrid of corn. Test yields have been phenomenal and the intent is to introduce this new strain in areas that are experiencing severe hunger problems.

Your task, as a member of the research team, will be to decide to which country the seed will be provided. Seed is limited so your task is to choose the most promising countries based on your careful analysis of criteria as follows:

1) What country has the most conducive soil, climate, and topography for growing corn?

2) What irrigation methods are currently popular in this country and what other types may be successfully introduced?

3) Is corn currently part of the diet of the cultures found in this country? What factors may inhibit or encourage the introduction or increase of corn in the diet?

4) Are there potential political implications that must be considered?

A written report will list the reasons, based on the careful analysis of the above listed criteria, for why this research group believes their chosen country is the best. This name will ultimately be forwarded to the U.S. Department of Agriculture for funding for the first year.

Remember, the Department of Agriculture will depend solely on the advice of the research groups, will use the corn seeds only in the countries recommended for the first year, and the teams future employment with the U.S. Department of Agriculture will hinge on the successful outcome of the recommendation. Most importantly, you will impact the lives and futures of many people in three developing countries with your decision, so join your research group as part of OPERATION HUNGER FREE

 

 You will be working with a team to determine your recommendation and your justification for the country you choose to assist.  Your report will be one concise page of information that responds to the questions.  You may include additional charts and/or pictures.  Any Additional information you provide will be in the form of responses to oral questions.  Good Luck!

 note: the CORN SEED project will not be due until later this week; more info to follow; but you are free to start your research

DUE MONDAY

The Power of Place:  http://www.learner.org/series/powerofplace/page24.html

go to 11:25

Chicago: Farming on the Edge, leaves the downtown core to take a look at the increasing threat that middle class flight presents to farmland at the urban fringe. No longer are suburban communities dependent upon jobs in the downtown core. The availability of cars and the highway infrastructure has enabled a new kind of city to spring up around Chicago. These auto-dependent edge cities provide jobs and services to the residents of the surrounding suburbia, allowing them to avoid downtown altogether if they choose. Furthermore, these new job centers, already many miles from the old downtown core, enable suburbia to penetrate more deeply into the countryside.

Updates to this case study include new video footage and interviews profiling suburban growth on Chicago's fringe, new interviews with Dr. Richard Green as he visits areas undergoing land-use change, and new maps showing the extent of farmland loss.

Video Key Words:  Use these terms to explain the changes in farming and land use in Chicago.  Make a FLOW MAP that traces how land use has changed; under each box you may explain in 1-2 sentences that box of the map.

• Urban to Suburban Migration
  
• Suburban Sprawl
  
• Farmland Loss
  
• Edge Cities
• WHAT CAN BE DONE TO PREVENT further reduction of farm land near cities? Can a city control this change in land use?  How?  Should it control this?  IF you had a farm near Chicago and were offered a large sum of money to sell your land for development....would you?  why or why not?  Let's just say you walked away from your farm with no debt and $5 million in your bank account.....

• Cultural Diffusion Helpful Hints – refer to the following information if you need help answering the questions above.
• 1)       Culture Hearths – sources of civilization from which an idea, innovation, or ideology originates (e.g. Mesopotamia, Nile Valley), viewed in the context of time as well as space
• 2)       Cultural diffusion – spread of an innovation, or ideology from its source area to another culture
• a)       Expansion diffusion – an innovation, or ideology develops in a source area and remains strong there while also spreading outward
• 1)       Contagious diffusion – nearly all adjacent individuals are affected (e.g. spread of Islam, disease)
• 2)       Hierarchical diffusion – the main channel of diffusion some segment of those who are susceptible to (or adopting) what is being diffused (e.g. spread of AIDS, use of fax machines)
• 3)       Stimulus diffusion – spread of an underlying principle (e.g. idea of industrialization)
• b)       Relocation diffusion – spread of an innovation, or ideology through physical movement of individuals
• 1)       Migrant diffusion – an innovation originates somewhere and enjoys strong-but brief-adoption, loses strength at origin by the time it reaches another area
• 2)       Acculturation – when a culture is substantially changed through interaction with another culture
• 3)       Transculturation – a near equal exchange between culture complexes
• c)       Forces that work against diffusion:
• 1)       Time-distance decay – the longer and farther it has to go, the less likely it will get there
• 2)       Cultural barriers – prevailing attitudes or taboos

• REsearch project/Cultural Diffusion:  You will research each of these questions using the Web sites listed below, using rock and roll music, or artifacts or the arts associated with it, as the subject in this study of diffusion.  Be prepared to share your Research Topic Thursday.  Presentations on Monday, Oct. 31.
• Although the United States has been called a “melting pot” because of numerous ethnic influences from its wide range and history of immigration, one aspect of American culture that originated in the United States is that of rock and roll music. The worldwide exposure of this native American music style is a classic example of cultural diffusion.
• Simply defined, diffusion is the spreading of ideas and objects by whatever means. Diffusion can occur through direct observation, word of mouth, the written word, or recorded sights and sounds. Human geographers are primarily interested in the spatial aspects of diffusion.  Some of the key questions that geographers ask about diffusion of some cultural phenomenon are listed below.  Please explore the following to select your focus in this study.

WE're Number 1!

• Cultures can be many things, but they are certainly not static. Cultures can be changed through innovations and inventions, diffusion, acculturation, and revitalization. With the twentieth century advancements in communications, transportation, and trade, cultures in many parts of the world have become increasingly dynamic.  Some nations fear an eventual loss of cultural identity with ever-increasing global interconnections.  Cultural imperialism has been defined as the emerging global culture dominated by the world’s superpower, the United States.  Some argue that U.S. cultural influence is at least as strong as its military influence. 
• Industrialized nations have responded in various ways to America’s cultural dominance. France has become particularly wary of U.S. influence (e.g., la loi Toubon of 1994, a law which forbids French public entities and corporations engaged in public activities from using English expressions where there is a French equivalent).  Canada has “allowed” considerable American cultural influence (e.g., most of the current National Hockey League franchises are now located in the U.S. and baseball and football in Toronto).  Since World War II, Japan has incorporated whole segments of American culture (e.g., baseball & fast food), yet has remained distinctively Japanese.  The less industrialized nations have also had different responses to American cultural dominance.  Many of the Islamic-dominated of the Middle East have little tolerance for American cultural influences and use censorship and other tactics to keep this influence to a minimum.  Some additional cultural conflicts between less developed nations and the U.S. grew out of the Cold War which often pitted “godless communists” versus “corrupt capitalists.”
• For this activity, decide where you stand on this issue. Choose between three opinions below.  Select the opinion you most agree with and provide support for your argument (you may use outside resources).
• Opinion One – U.S. imperialism or world domination does exist! (Be sure to give examples).
• Opinion Two – No, U.S. imperialism does not exist. We are simply witnessing the development of a “global” culture that currently happens to be largely influenced by the United States.
• Opinion Three – No, U.S. imperialism does not exist. Increased nationalism in various countries will maintain separate and distinct cultures, with no one culture being dominant.
• YOUR TASK
• Write a short essay (5 paragraphs; no more than 2 pages) that illustrates where you stand on this issue. Your essay may be typed. Again, you may use outside resources.  Outside resources (i.e. the internet) may help you decide which of the three opinions you subscribe to or help you to support the opinion you already have.  Also,  Use terminology and concepts to justify your point of view

• Population Explosion:
• HW: project/Population growth or decline Rapid population growth in the 20th century led to concerns that population would exceed the earth’s ability to produce food
• The United Nations held a series of Populations Conferences in 1974, 1984, and 1994 in which curbing population growth was strongly advocated. In the 21st century the population continues to grow, but many more developed states are experiencing declines in their populations creating a population paradox.

This program, Boundaries and Borderlands, introduces the case study approach of the course. Here we examine the borderland region between the regions of North America and Latin America. A journey to Anapara and a Campestre near Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, and then across the Rio Grande to EI Paso, Texas, highlights concepts of geography that are central to the course: relative location, regions, scale, and the spatial perspective.

The first case study, Twin Cities, Divided Lives, follows the story of Concha Martinez as she crosses between the U.S. and Mexico in order to make a life for herself and her children. It investigates how the relative locations of border cities influence economic development and migration

Explain these Video Key Words

Twin Cities, Divided Lives

1. Describe how Concha Martinez lives.  Her family, her environment, her economic situation.
2. Why does Concha Martinez go north and cross the border? Is she successful?  How?
3. What happens to Concha that forces her to work as a maquiladora?  Is she better off

in this work?  What are the pros and cons? 

What are your thoughts on immigration from MExico to the US?  How should the 11 millionillegal residents (mostly from Mexico) be treated?  Should they become citizens, eventhough they came illegally?  Should we build the wall that Donald Trump wants?  Explain.

 

• Size and Scale
• Relative Location
• Regions
• Spatial Perspective
• Maquiladoras
• Economic Development

 

• Globalization
• In the video, What are the positive and negative aspects of globalization?
• Supranationalism
• Localization
• GMo:  Genetically modified food;  Why do some countries resist GM0s?
• Name 3 reasons for Terrorism; Muslim Jihad
• Centripetal vs. Centrifugal Forces

LOST IN SPACE?  Astronauts learn and use geographic skills (and GIS)

 

• The first video program, Lost in Space? Geography Training for Astronauts, explores geographical concepts in the context of a NASA space shuttle mission. It provides an overview of the spatial perspective, following the training of NASA astronauts as they attend classes to help them orient themselves when observing Earth from the space shuttle. The commanding view of earth from space points out the benefits of shuttle- and satellite-gathered imagery to help us better understand the geographical forces shaping our world:  GO TO....
  
• https://www.learner.org/vod/vod_window.html?pid=1926
• WATCH from 00:--to--12:00

• What do they observe from space??!!!
• 2.  Explain 
  
  • Satellite Imagery
  • Plate Tectonics Theory
  • Latitude/Longitude Coordinate System
• • Map Analysis Activity
  • Directions: Students select a map from a newspaper, magazine, the Internet, or another source. Students examine the map carefully and think about the choices the cartographer (mapmaker) made. This will be turned in. Students must answer the following questions on a separate piece of paper and turn in with their map:
  • Why did the cartographer choose the color or colors used on the map?
  • Why did the cartographer choose the particular symbols used on the map?
  • Is there some form of data the cartographer chose to place on this map? If so, what is it? Why do you think she/he included the data?
  • Do you find the map useful? What are some of the map’s advantages and limitations?

• To truly understand the world today, it must be viewed within a spatial context. Yet, this perspective is foreign to most high school students, especially those in North America.
• Course Description  Human  Geography is the study of where humans and their activities and institutions such as ethnic groups, cities, and industries are located and why they are there. Human geographers also study the interactions of  humans with their environment and draw on some basic elements of physical geography In the National Geographic-Roper 2002 Global Geographic Literacy Survey, only 17 percent of Americans aged 18 to 24 could find Afghanistan on a map. Only 13 percent could find Iraq or Iran on a map of the Middle East and Asia, and only 14 percent could locate Israel ,
• North Americans must be educated about human geography as we face increasing globalization in the twenty-first century. GEOGRAPHY IS EVERYTHING.
• Do you Agree or disagree? Take a position and give three reasons to support your point of view.
